Oh human,
Learn from me where you belong on this planet
You live high or low, in a palace or ghetto
Be versatile, flowing with life’s needs
Solid as a rock when life hits you hard
Melting like snow when a comrade sob
Living selflessly, giving with no expectations
Bringing more smiles than regrets
Your deeds hold stead while thou leave the earth
Return as the best or enjoy a long rest!”
